Not seeing as many Butterflies locally this year. There were dozens more this time last year..so always happy to see a few of my fave Blues.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Hebridean sheep - finally, after several visits, I’ve got close enough to get some photos! I’ve knitted with the wool produced from these sheep and it’s lovely stuff! I’m beginning to develop an appreciation for natural, undyed wool and more muted, natural tones. It’s funny how our shade preferences evolve over time. When I started knitted I loved everything of shade purple and neon green?! I wanted bright, vivid and contrasting. Nowadays, I look towards more naturally inspired colourways and I definitely seek out shades that are less dramatic and and more understated 🤷‍♀️ 💭 🤔 .

Anyhow, there is also a picture of the Warden’s cottage built in the 1800s - what fantastic stonework! I’ve seen this stonework quite a lot in coastal villages/towns and this is something I need to incorporate at home?! A coastal-inspired wall of some sorts. And, a photo of the steps take you to where the Hebridean’s are - there’s something about these steps I rather like too...lots on inspiration at Spurn! .
